About this role
We want an earth that is worth living on. Our applied research in Circular Economy, Carbon Management, Green Hydrogen and Local Energy Systems makes concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. As an institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we show how to not only master challenges, but grow with them. We push boundaries, think ahead and shape the future with applied research. Diverse perspectives and approaches strengthen creativity and innovation in our scientific work. Would you like to help us shape a sustainable world? We are looking for reinforcement! The group Applied Thermodynamics conducts research into the transformation of industrial energy supply systems with a focus on process heat supply. As part of your master's thesis, you will use a dynamic model developed in Modelica to investigate the charging and discharging behavior of an electrically heated metallic latent heat storage system, evaluate various operating scenarios, and validate the model using existing measurement or simulation data where appropriate.
